How long does stroke rehabilitation last?
The duration of your stroke rehabilitation depends on the severity of stroke and related complications. Some stroke survivors recover quickly. But most need some form of long-term stroke rehabilitation, lasting possibly months or years after their stroke. For most people, rehab is a lifelong process. Your stroke rehab team is there to help in as many ways as it can. A strong support network of family and friends is also very important. Your stroke rehabilitation plan will change during your recovery as you relearn skills and your needs change. With ongoing practice, you can continue to make gains over time. Recovering from a stroke can be a long and frustrating experience. It’s normal to face difficulties along the way. Dedication and willingness to work toward improvement will help you gain the most benefit.
